I believe a cultural leader is one that understands how a school’s identity and place in the community directly contributes to it’s past, present and future success. Together with their staff and other valuable stakeholders, a cultural leader should prioritize the values and traditions resulting in positive outcomes for student achievement, community involvement and staff morale. In contrast, a cultural leader should identify those values, traditions and stereotypes having a negative impact on the school’s identity; and in response, a school leader should establish an environment that is able to redefine a school’s identity, by creating a culture directly linked to it’s core values and mission. This environment should encourage collaboration among school staff, parents, community leaders and students.

Quick Note After Classroom Observations: I was able to assist the administrative team with classroom visits both informally and during the formal evaluation cycle. Through this practice, I have learned the importance of giving feedback to encourage and empower good teaching and learning. When conducting informal observations, I would either leave the teacher a brief note or email in which I acknowledged something he/she was doing well and should be encouraged to continue implementing. Through this process, I have learned the impact feedback can have on empowering a staff to try new things and to share with others.
